Music by DAVIDSON OSPINA & OSCAR P
DAVIDSON OSPINA ( Ospina Digital )
Davidson Ospina. This is what you need to know about the NYC artist, remixer, DJ, and owner of Ospina Digital records, a leading label heavily influencing the current House music scene.
He started out just like any other kid from Queens in the early 80’s, with an intense love of music. ‘My neighborhood exposed me to a wide variety of music. But, I was really inspired by the NYC break-dancing scene. The music at that time was so exciting and made you want to move. I felt the need to contribute to that’. He followed up on that ‘need to contribute’ and by his early teens he was not only producing his own songs, he was remixing other artist’s tracks.
The momentum of his influence in the Underground did not go unnoticed. It broke through up to the Overground. Popular artists, who wanted to be heard in the clubs, began to come to him. The roster of Popular artists wanting his touch is impressive, with Ospina reworking Britney Spears (more than once), Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, Mark Anthony, and, well, you get the idea.

KID'S BAZAAR by UMPA LUMPA
UMPA LUMPA founded by Laura Dejean in 2009. After many years of varying (more negative than positive) experiences with clowns and kid's entertainment at her daughter's Birthday Parties.
Laura came to the conclusion that she could add more quality,
love and enthusiasm to the world of children's entertainment.
It starts with making every single child's smile count, reviving old school party games and ends with transforming parties and events into healthy and eco-conscious happenings, without toxic food and cakes, junk party favors and much less garbage. We are trying to bring imagination and phantastic memories back into your kid's special days.
Her experience includes many years of teaching Self-Defense
(with fun) to children as young as 4 which Laura will do again soon in Jersey City. She is also currently teaching a musical enrichment program in Jersey City Public Schools through Cohen Arts and Education. http://cohenartsed.com/ind
Umpa Lumpa can offer parties in Spanish and German!
